ABSTRACT:
The device consists of a moderately pretensioned wire cable which connects the opposing vehicle body sides together. The cable is fixed by means of a pair of opposing reinforcement plates of relatively large surface area that are welded and/or screwed to the vehicle body. The cable passes about the steering column in such a manner as to limit its rearward movement in case of a frontal impact between the vehicle and an obstacle and/or another vehicle and to simultaneously limit the movement of the body sides away from each other.
